It’s a story too strange not to be true. Local police say that after a woman and her husband entered the camel enclosure at the famous Tiger Truck Stop, the camel sat on the woman, pinning her down. The woman told police officers that she bit the camel on the testicles in order to escape.
Caspar the camel is one of the main attractions at Tiger Truck Stop about 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge. Caspar replaced Tony the Tiger after the titular Bengal tiger died of kidney failure in 2017. Caspar’s enclosure is surrounded by a barbed wire fence and plenty of warning signs.
Still, on Wednesday of last week, a woman and her husband entered Caspar’s enclosure. According to reporting by The Advocate, the incident began when the man started tossing dog treats to the camel. The couple’s dog, not on a leash beside them, chased after the treats.
While the camel wasn’t aggressive, the couple climbed under the barbed-wire fence and into the enclosure. There, the man began swatting at the camel to move him back while his wife bent down to pick up the dog. Caspar took the opportunity to sit on the woman, pinning her to the ground.
“Any animal you provoke, they’re going to strike back,” Tiger Truck Stop manager Pamela Bossier told The Advocate. “It’s instinct.”
It was then that the woman did what she had to in order to get out from under Casper. According to Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Deputy Louis Hamilton Jr., “she said… ‘I bit his testicles to get him off me.'”
After a brief investigation, deputies cited the couple for not having their dog on a leash. Caspar meanwhile was cleared of any wrongdoing.
“My only question to her husband was: ‘Why did you throw the doggy treat under the fence?’” Hamilton told The Advocate. “And he just said, ‘I wasn’t thinking.’”

I notice they weren’t charged for trespassing. They weren’t charged for endangering an animal either. They got off way too easy.

As she said to Caspar the Camel, “Any animal you provoke, they’re going to strike back,” Tiger Truck Stop manager Pamela Bossier told The Advocate. “It’s instinct.”

Mark Scheuermann says
Casper decided instinctively to teabag the woman.
Alex c says
Only in loosiana
Damian says
I can’t even…..
Jake says
It was a ballsy move.
Jake says
Cajun women don’t like to be tea bagged.
Jake says
Said the camel to the woman:
“Don’t talk with your mouth full.”
Sara says
No I’m not saying anything. But maybe Casper was lonely.
Lou says
Should have crapped on her.

I live about 30 miles from there and those people fought animal rights activist for years for the right to bear,no pun intended, animals. That poor tiger was ancient and finally died so now they have a camel.from a business standpoint, I understand that the tiger truck stop is known all over the country, perhaps even the world, but the camel toe truck stop is just as catchy and more appropriate considering the fact that they no longer have a tiger.but if they did still have a tiger,this would be a completely different story, more like “woman is eaten alive after biting tigers testicles”. I have to admit, I skipped right over the story that was in my in box about the trucking company executive stealing money. That happens every day, but a woman biting a camels testicles,that’s a first!
Isabella Kirby says
You betcha! Where camels are more prevalent, not so much, but here in America…. All I can say is “Only in America!” 😉🥴🙄😎
Bob says
That’s how she gets her husband off of her too!
Just Me says
You win the prize, Bob….good one!!!

” She’d walk a mile for a Camel ! “
Kives Hulon says
The woman should be charged with anomal abuse since it would never happened if she didnt climb under the fence and since she did the animal experienced unnecessary pain.
Danny says
I salute this woman’s will to survive. She gritted her teeth and had a lot of balls.
BOB the trucker says
Will we ever run out of stories about idiots?
MT Pockets says
not as long as there are truckers!
Deputy Dawg 2020 says
Famous truck stop? A huge dump sounds more appropriate, that place needs a major overhaul…stayed there once and that was certainly ENOUGH for me…I guess its a Loosianna thing…
cyrus curenton says
The tiger truck stop is definitely a hold-over from a bygone era…
It kinda reminds me of Bill’s truckstop in North Carolina….is Bill’s still open?
I hate that the tiger died, but these things happen. I guess the lady should be grateful that they didn’t replace the tiger with an elephant…
Kelly says
I wonder if she has now acquired a taste??😳😳😳
